Originally created by @binyamin on GitHub (Mar 12, 2021).

I saw recently that GitLab has a feature for self-hosted instances, where repositories can accept new issues via email. If Gitea implemented this, it would enable people without accounts to contribute to projects very easily.

This might:

Show poster information via email metadata and/or gravatar-like endpoints
Check if the email is already associated with an account
Effectively introduce a new method for third-party integration

See also #13442, #13585

I can totally see why you want that.

However, a few things should also be noted:
When implementing this behavior

disabling it and
a configurable block list for certain e-mails

need to be implemented as well on a user or repository wide setting to avoid spam by certain addresses.
A whitelist will most likely not be useful here.

There are some longstanding Lucene communities that could be interested in this project. Is there any way we could help?

Thank you for you interesting. There is no people work on this issue, if you can do that. It's appreciated.
